This nearly describes what the redaction bot will do, once it is
complete.

With one big difference: the bot will not undelete objects that an

SteveA here:
NE2, I'm actually glad that you have identified this problem.
"Handled improperly" is a syntactically clean way of identifying this
abstract box of cases. But then there is "what to do." Will the
redaction bot simply "punt" in these cases? Is that OK? Likely not,
as we then have "handled improperly" as a result for any subsequent
"joining of ways." What about in the meantime, before ways are
joined?
Am I / are we talking about these problems in the right forum and in
the right way?
Thanks,
SteveA
